The report states that Afghan society has been struggling with hopelessness for the past three years, and those who protest against the Taliban’s policies are subject to forced disappearances, arbitrary arrests, imprisonment, torture and other ill-treatment by the Taliban.

According to this organization, many of them have been forced to leave the country due to the fear of revenge and have left their families and jobs behind. Hundreds of these people are trapped in Iran, Pakistan and Türkiye; where they face legal and financial challenges and are even exposed to forced eviction.

According to this report, this organization prepared in a conversation with 150 human rights activists, women protestors, academics, youth, representatives of civil society and journalists in 21 provinces of Afghanistan and also in other countries. The human rights disaster in Afghanistan has not been dealt with and this is a shame for the world.

According to this international organization, Samira Hamidi, head of Amnesty International’s regional campaign for South Asia, says: “Not only does the world not hold the Taliban accountable for crimes and human rights violations; Rather, it has not been able to take a strategic direction to prevent more damage.”

Speaking to Amnesty International, a number of women in 21 provinces of Afghanistan have said that they feel “alienated” after three years of Taliban rule, adding that they have limited opportunities for employment and economic or cultural participation in society.

This organization says that the Taliban have rejected the accusations of sexual harassment by claiming to “follow Afghan Sharia and culture” and consider their actions to be in accordance with the principles of Islam.

In this report, Amnesty International added that the Taliban carry out corporal punishment of people in Afghanistan, including public flogging, public executions, amputation of hands and feet, stoning and other forms of “mistreatment” without a fair trial and legal solution, and violate international laws. They “violate”.

The report states: “Afghanistan now has a declining civil society where human rights defenders, including women protesters, grassroots organizations, journalists and political activists are seen as enemies of the Taliban.”

According to this report, members of human rights movements in Afghanistan have told this organization that they are facing deprivation not only from the Taliban but also from the international community. They have said that they are not invited in important discussions; Because it is considered “very dangerous”.

Amnesty International’s report states that strong words cannot stop the suppression of human rights by the Taliban; But strong action can.

This international organization has asked governments around the world to take effective steps to end the suppression of human rights in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, August 15 or 24 Asad, the third anniversary of the fall of Afghanistan at the hands of the Taliban group, has provoked many reactions, and a number of political figures, human rights activists and women’s rights defenders have called August 15 “a black day in the history of Afghanistan”.

The Taliban call August 15 and the fall of the republican system “Victory Day” and celebrated it the other day.

but; The citizens of the country consider this day as a “black day in the history of the country” and emphasize that this day was the beginning of the removal of people, especially women, from the scene of politics and society in the country.

United Nations experts also considered the Taliban’s actions against women as “crimes against humanity” and said that they support its investigation at the International Court of Justice.
